[ Upstream commit35b72573e9] The current hash algorithm used for hashing cookie keys is really bad, producing almost no dispersion (after a test kernel build, ~30000 files were split over just 18 out of the 32768 hash buckets). Borrow the full_name_hash() hash function into fscache to do the hashing for cookie keys and, in the future, volume keys. I don't want to use full_name_hash() as-is because I want the hash value to be consistent across arches and over time as the hash value produced may get used on disk. I can also optimise parts of it away as the key will always be a padded array of aligned 32-bit words.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
